Hi!
Mibroscopic examination of urine (where urine concentrate is seen under a microscope for cells) is done to look for red blood cells if you doctor suspects that you are bleeding in urine but there is no frank blood seen. The most common cause of blood in urine is urinary tract infection (UTI). The next possible diagnosis is stone. The stone can be anywhere in the urinary system from kidney to urethra. Cancers of urinary system or some drugs too cause blood in urine. Bladder infections and cysts too can cause similar symptoms.
Hope this helps. Take care!
